<aside> ⚠️ CAUTION! This lashing equipment is not meant to be used for industrial lifting purposes in the US area!

<aside> ‼️ Important information before use:
</aside>
Only for lashing, not for lifting
Only use web lashing if it does not show any signs of damage
Spread web lashings all-over the whole load
Web lashings shall not be overloaded
Web lashings shall never be used when knotted any also shall not be twisted
Do not dispose any loads on the web lashing
For ratchet straps, only the maximum hand force of 500 N (50 daN on the label; 1 daN = 1 kg) shall be applied. Mechanical aids such as levers, bars etc. as extensions are not to be used unless they are part of the tensioning device. Soft loop straps are not application to this point.
Only legibly marked and labelled web lashings shall be used
The webbing shall be protected against friction, abrasion and damage from loads with sharp edges
Damage to labels shall be prevented by keeping them away from sharp edges of the load and, if possible, from the load.
Damage to labels shall be prevented by keeping them away from sharp edges of the load and, if possible, from the load.
Load must be evenly distributed over the crossbars
Please refer to your vehicle’s manufacturer handbook for maximum carrying capacity of your vehicle
When selecting and using the lashing strap, the necessary lashing force, the type of use and the type of load to be lashed must be taken into account.
The selected lashing strap must be strong and long enough for the intended use.
Polyester is resistant to mineral acids, but is attacked by alkalis.
The lashing strap is suitable for use in the temperature range -40 °C to 60 °C.
A change in ambient temperature during transport may affect the force in the strap. The lashing force must be checked after entering warm regions.
If there are signs of damage, the lashing strap must be taken out of service, e.g. in case of cracks, cuts, indentations, breaks, deformations, strong signs of wear or if the label of the strap is damaged or blurred.If accidental contact with chemicals occurs, the lashing strap must be taken out of service and the manufacturer or supplier must be consulted.
Regular visual inspection before and after use is recommended.
Straps must be protected from friction and abrasion and from damage caused by loads with sharp edges by the use of protective covers and/or edge protectors.
During loading and unloading attention has to be paid to proximity of any low overhead power lines. Before attempting to unload a unit of load its web lashings shall be released so that it can be lifted freely from the load platform. Release of the web lashing: Care should be taken to ensure that the stability of the load is independent of the lashing equipment and that the release of the web lashing shall not cause the load to fall off the vehicle, thus endangering the personnel. If necessary attach lifting equipment for further transport to the load before releasing the tensioning device in order to prevent accidental falling and/or tilting of the load. This applies as well when using tensioning devices which allow controlled removal. Because of different behaviour and elongation under load conditions, different lashing equipment (e. g. lashing chain and web lashings) shall not be used to lash the same load. Consideration shall also be given to ancillary fittings (components) and lashing devices in the load restraint assembly are compatible with the web lashing.
The retraction mechanism on automatic tensioning belts must never be opened. If the mechanism housing is damaged, the belts must no longer be used! The mechanism is under high tension. Improper opening can result in serious injury!

For USA only:

Attaching the lashing strap
<aside> ❗
CAUTION: The webbing must be at least 50% unwound! Do not press the red button again! Check the tension regularly during transport and retighten if necessary.
</aside>
Loosening the lashing strap
<aside> ❗
CAUTION: As soon as the ratchet lock is released by pressing the red button, the tension is released instantly!
</aside>
Regular care and inspection are essential to ensure the long service life and reliable function of the tension belts. The following measures have proven effective in practice:
Cleaning
Lubrication of moving parts
Visual inspection and functional check
Storage
